Trump trade remarks with Germany draw confusion from red state South Carolina

For nearly two hours every day, Anderson native Deborah Williams commutes to and from her job at BMW Manufacturing in Spartanburg County, a job she patiently waited five years to apply for.

The job, she said, has allowed her to live a comfortable life, travel extensively and help her nieces and nephews pay for college.

President Donald Trump has made comments recently taking Germany to task for its trade practices, and his comments have generated a discussion about the important contributions that BMW and other German companies have had on the Upstate and the country.

Williams, a paint inspector, is in charge of checking vehicles before they roll off the assembly line and making sure each car has no defects.

Person who actually read or heard real news.

Germany will eat Trump's lunch and throw the wrapper in his fat face.

Of course Trump and his family uses manufacture outside of the US, before he jumps out and tries to talk down Germany about their vehicles he needs to know what he is saying. He does not have an advisory team who is brave enough to properly advise him so he runs all over the world with his stupid play ground remarks.

of this matters when the nukes start flying, and they will.

Anyone who voted 3rd party or sat out, you are personally responsible for every death that occurs.
